Extract

In field practice much of the application of herbicides to local infestations of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) is done by hand on a spray-to-wet basis. With a fixed concentration of active ingredient in the spray mixture the dosage is determined by the volume used in wetting a particular stand of grass. The amount of herbicide deposited on the weed foliage may be affected by the addition of surfactants to the spray mixture. In orchards and vineyards where the tolerance of the crop to the herbicide is limited, variations in the stand may lead to local overdosage and injury to the trees and vines.
